Speculation linking the Sheffield-born forward with a move out of S2 lingered throughout the summer - ever since he appeared in the FA Youth Cup Final with his academy team mates.
But finally the 18-year-old has been tied down as a Sheffield United player until 2013.
He was subject of an offer from Premier League Fulham when Mark Hughes was still in charge, but the arrival of Martin Jol quietened negotiations between the two clubs and the player.
Slew broke into the Blades' first team at the back end of last season, scoring two goals - one at Preston and then a late winner in the home game versus Bristol City.
A deal between both parties was struck before the squad flew out to Malta, and boss Danny Wilson is delighted to have the services of the youngster at his disposal for the forthcoming League One campaign.
He said: "It has been a protracted process but all along we have been quietly confident that Jordan would remain with us.
"We've had interest in him, and no doubt there will be more, but we pitched our case to him - a lot of hard work has gone on behind the scenes - and we are really pleased that he has opted to stay with us to continue to progress.
"Jordan knows that we think of a lot of him, he's got a load of potential, but there's also a lot of hard work in front of him to realise his full potential."
Slew, meanwhile, is determined to knuckle down and focus on his first full campaign in senior football. He said: "I'm delighted everything is sorted and now I can fully concentrate on the remainder of pre-season and getting ready for the start against Oldham next month.
"This is my hometown and where I want to continue my development. The aim now is to play as many games and score as many goals as possible."
